Both teams have been named.

Quade Cooper is back for the Reds.

 

[TRF_stormer2010]

More importantly for my fantasy draft Kerevi and JOC are back! I'm hoping for a return on my investments now.. here's hopig for an open flowing game!

 

[TRF_heineken]

I get the feeling that the Lions pack will be the difference.

Especially at scrum time.

 

[InsaneAsylum]

The Reds will get up. The Lions got lucky last week against the Rebels due to some interesting ref decisions in the last 10-15 minutes.

 

[Shaggy]

The Reds certainly need those guys back, but I wonder if they will gel, first game back

 

[TRF_heineken]

Well how about that?? Lions winning 3 of their 4 games on tour!

Congrats Lions

They've done well this year. To come and beat the Rebels, who are a banana skin team in their own right, and the Blues, now the Reds is a great feat.

Hard luck Reds, was a close one. Seems like this season will be a rough one for you guys. They start their away games next week.

We got a glimpse of what could have been for the reds this year, instead of being utterly incompetent and beaten they were mostly incompetent and beaten.

You're the biggest negative Nancy I've ever met. Obviously don't remember 2007 - 2009 Reds seasons
